“…Agents are autonomous and flexible systems situated in an environment where agents act accordingly to achieve their objectives [34,52]. Composed of several interacting agents, multi-agent systems offer promising engineering solutions for developing robust and scalable systems [17,19,29,31,39,42,52,55].…”

Electric Vehicles (EV) represent a completely open new field full of promising opportunities that are nowadays arising; one of the most challenging is the driver support for charging stations (CS). The usage of EVs in the city requires specific infrastructures and computational support to ensure an efficient and correct deployment. Consequently, new services are required to fulfil with the EV needs that will arise: e.g. booking a service in a CS, selecting the most appropriate CS in relation to current EV location, booking a CS, or finding the best route to the CS. All the support services should consider not only the user preferences but also the best route restrictions, which are related with minimum energy requirements and avoiding the EV running out of energy before reaching the CS. In this study, a Case Based Reasoning decision support system considering the EV's restrictions in routing to CS is proposed and developed to validate the need of service enhancement. Furthermore, a multi-agent approach to deal with these services is described: agents should interact based on the traffic and energy information -e.g., their states, the current and destination locations, traffic data and events. All these studies are embedded in a more ambitious project to provide EV infrastructures in Spain. Computational experiments performed for real-data study cases using the proposed CBR system compared to traditional routing methods confirm the need to develop dedicated models and consider EV's features and restrictions in designing supporting algorithms.

“…Based in the classification process and in the negotiation history, this method allows determining the best negotiation strategy considering different negotiation scenarios. VPPs and DG are modelled as agents [8,23] in a multi-agent based electricity market simulator called MASCEM (Multi-Agent System for Competitive Electricity Markets) [25,29]. In MASCEM, each market player is a complex and autonomous entity with distinct objectives, purposes and behaviours, taking their own decisions.…”

Abstract. Smart Grids (SGs) have emerged as the new paradigm for power system operation and management, being designed to include large amounts of distributed energy resources. This new paradigm requires new Energy Resource Management (ERM) methodologies considering different operation strategies and the existence of new management players such as several types of aggregators. This paper proposes a methodology to facilitate the coalition between distributed generation units originating Virtual Power Players (VPP) considering a game theory approach. The proposed approach consists in the analysis of the classifications that were attributed by each VPP to the distributed generation units, as well as in the analysis of the previous established contracts by each player. The proposed classification model is based in fourteen parameters including technical, economical and behavioural ones. Depending of the VPP strategies, size and goals, each parameter has different importance. VPP can also manage other type of energy resources, like storage units, electric vehicles, demand response programs or even parts of the MV and LV distribution network. A case study with twelve VPPs with different characteristics and one hundred and fifty real distributed generation units is included in the paper.

Cooperation always contains some control flow. This control flow can be treated by workflow models in order to coordinate actions of a group of distributed participants. While centralized intra-organizational workflow management systems are nowadays very well understood and implemented via tools, the idea of inter-organizational workflow management systems (IOWfMS) still needs conceptual and technical support.This paper discusses the use of agents and multi-agents as underlying concepts of such systems on the basis of agent-and organization-oriented Petri nets. Powerful modeling concepts need appropriate powerful constructs in modeling languages and their tools. As an overall solution we provide Inter-Cloud Workflow Petri Nets (IC-WPN) and sketch their technical embedding. They combine central conceptual ideas of systemswithin-systems models, WfMS, as well as agent and organization theories with technical solutions from agent and Cloud technology.
